Engineering Hydrology: Fundamentals and Applications

Engineering Hydrology: Fundamentals and Applications is a comprehensive textbook designed for undergraduate degree and diploma students in Civil, Water Resources, Agricultural, and Environmental Engineering. The book provides a clear and practical introduction to surface water hydrology, emphasizing fundamental concepts, real-world applications, and problem-solving skills essential for engineering practice. Topics covered include the hydrologic cycle, precipitation analysis, streamflow measurement, watershed characteristics, runoff processes, hydrographs, peak flow estimation, unit hydrographs, and flood routing techniques. Each chapter includes solved examples, practice problems with answers, multiple-choice review questions, and discussion questions to reinforce learning. Written by an experienced educator and practicing engineer, this book focuses on the application of concepts rather than rote memorization, making it an ideal resource for students, teachers, and practicing engineers seeking a strong foundation or refresher in engineering hydrology.
